Bettarazzi Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 That will teach me to read the packaging more carefully. The polyfibre matting that I bought at Spotlight is filled with antibacterial and antifungal and all manner of chemicals. I'm not going to be able to use it for mechanical filtration. And typically I only read the packaging after I've cut off a huge chunk so I can't even return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Razzi How long are the cables and are they water risistent? Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think most of mine are 2m or 2.5m something like that. I might have one that's longer. They are completely encased in rubber and can be used in or out of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Fantastic Im getting me some it will be so much easyer than a whole heap of heaters are they on the same sit as the thermostat? Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 No. I bought most of my reptile cords at LFS that sell snakes and frogs. I've seen them on eBay sometimes so do a search. I think mine might be made in Australia but I don't have the packaging anymore. They have an Australian plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 This is similar to what I have. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/REPTILE-HEAT-HEATING-CORD-CABLE-3M-15W-/330505512710?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item4cf3a9e706#ht_2278wt_689. Just remember you need to buy the thermostat separately. What I've done with that shelf of tanks is I've got 4 heating cords plugged into a powerboard. I needed a universal travel adaptor to adapt the 3-prong Australian plug into 2-prong Asian. Remove the heater supplied with the thermostat. Then plug the powerboard into the thermostat. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs. Trying to save you the frustration I had with the adaptors. Before I found the universal adaptors in eBay I actually sawed off the earth prong from an adaptor because I couldn't find a 3-socket going to 2-prong.
